You should make or bring something Cajun, Creole or something to drink or snack onJust post what you want to bring so we can keep it balanced.My house is not gigantic, so I try to keep it around 35ish people.

My husband will likely round up some musician types for some music, so if you play,bring your instrument along. (we already have a baby grand), and many guitars. Recap: it will be Sun Feb 15, from 3-7 ishWe are in Deerfield, off Deerfield Rd between Edens and 294, and 0.5mi from the Deerfield Metra station. I will PM address to attendees ahead of time.

irisarbor - my Jan-Feb issue of Louisiana Cookin magazine is devoted entirely to Mardi Gras party food and king cake recipes - I'm terrible at posting links, but you might find them by googling their website.

This is looking like an awesome get-together- we will have at least 4-5 musicians to play some tunes, and many great cooks bringing good things to eat I've had some affirmatives from some of you, but would love for a few more "Contingenteers" to join in...http://www.lthforum.com/b...c.php?f=19&t=39100

Thanks to all who cooked, and played, and ate, and came and enjoyed!We had such a great time and really enjoyed having everyone.I had such good photography intentions.I got out my real camera, charged it up, and put it on the counter.Between playing hostess, eating, drinking, and enjoying the music, I'm afraid I didn't remember to take one single picture.I blame the jello shots.

If any took any- please post if you have time.Thanks again- great friends=great times
